the behavior of earth dams has particular complexities against dynamic forces and its assessment requiresdetailed and scientific analysis. the farrokhi earth dam is a heterogeneous type with vertical clay core, built 150 km away from birjand and 41 km away from qaen on the farrokhi river. there are concernsregarding the stability of this dam in the event of a future severe earthquake especially...

The method of pseudo-static analysis has been widely used to perform seismic slope stability, in which a coefficient is represent the earthquake shaking effect. However, it important but difficult select magnitude coefficients, are inevitably subjected different levels uncertainties. This paper aimed study influences uncertainties on stability from perspective probabilistic sensitivity analysis...

failure of the quay walls due to earthquakes results in severe economic loss. because of hazards threatening such inexpensive nodes of national and international transportation networks, seismic design of quay walls is still an evolving topic in marine structural engineering. this study investigates the sensitivity of the gravity-type quay wall stability respect to uncertain soil and seismic pr...

In spite of the fact that the effect of earthquake on earth dams has been widely studied during the past decades, the complicated behavior of such earth structures against different seismological characteristics is still unknown. Such ambiguities necessitate more accurate studies using more comprehensive computation tools to achieve new results describing the behavior of such structures subject...
